With predictions of rates being dropped to 0.25% or possibly even zero Twitter has been awash with comments from the mortgage industry and beyond.
Here's what some had to say...
Should the BoE should cut rates today? Perhaps more importantly, after so many dire warnings Carney will look pretty silly if they don't.

Quite a few people on my Twitter feed think Base Rate will hold today. We have seen before that credibility is not that important to Carney

The average mortgage will reduce by " £20 per month " if rates are cut 0.25%. Anyone seriously think that will fix anything?

Even if they cut base rate it's no where near enough. It's so irrelevant in the life of the average person- what we need is tax changes

will a cut to interest rates do anything? I doubt it.
Borrower apathy to longer term planning won't change.

Although #BoE rate cut exp, combination & uncertainty over additional tools is less assured... Whatever the decision volatility guaranteed

Is a rate cut beyond 0.25% too dangerous? #interestrates #BankofEngland #trading #markets
